Ease. Balance. Joy.
Come explore your current patterns of
emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships
so you can find and lean-in to your best self.
You don't have to figure everything out alone.
In-person therapy in Redmond and Bothell, and telehealth throughout Washingon for adults and couples navigating the impacts of trauma, anxiety/depression, communication issues, and life changes.
If something in your life isn't working the way it is, we're here to help.
Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, shut down, or caught in patterns you can't shift. Maybe you're carrying a lot more than people realize, or you're experiencing a difficult life transition.
You don't have to have it all figured out to begin.
Therapy here is a place to slow things down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and start moving forward in a way that actually fits you.
Experienced, independent therapists
Winter Sage Counseling is an independent practice, not venture-capitalists masquerading as health care providers. You'll work directly with your therapist-no being handed off to multiple departments, and no pressure to fit a rigid corporate system.
We see the therapeutic relationship as one based on collaboration and respect. Coming to therapy is simultaneously powerfully taking your health into your own hands, and expressing vulnerability in looking for guidance to do so. We seek to honor both your power and your vulnerability. Meet our therapists.
What we help with
We often work with adults and couples dealing with:
- Feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed
- Anxiety that won't settle
- Trauma showing up in the present
- Burnout, emotional exhaustion, care-giver fatigue
- Life transitions that feel destabilizing
How we work
We don't use cookie-cutter solutions. Therapy is tailored to you, drawing from approaches like:
- DBT (for emotional regulation and practical skills)
- CBT and ACT (for patterns, thoughts, and behavior change)
- IFS (for understanding different parts of yourself and patterns)
- EFT (for tapping and bilateral integration)
But more than any one method, the focus is on helping you:
- understand what’s happening inside
- build tools that actually work
- create meaningful, lasting change
Our Philosophy
We began Winter Sage believing that you as the client are the expert on you.
We're here to assist you in understanding yourself and your world.
Therapy can help shift something within our control or change how we relate to things outside our control. This might look like understanding why we're repeating personal patterns and what we can do to change them, or developing healthy strategies and boundaries to deal with people, places, and things we can't change. We'll work to identify the patterns of emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships currently showing up in your life, and how you might want to adjust them to live a life more in alignment with what you truly value. A life enabling you to find and lean-in to your best self.
You will be supported in defining and navigating changes to your life that support your wellbeing, so that you can experience relief and growth through insight and change. If you’re ready to dive in, our clinicians are ready to be in it with you, offering support and resources, challenging you to remember why you started, and cheering your progress. Whatever you're dealing with, we are here to help.
We often work with trauma, PTSD, relational issues, depression, anxiety, illness/caregiving, grief and loss, and life/work balance and happiness.
Let’s explore working together to help you live a value-based life with more ease, joy, and balance even in these difficult times. You're worth it.
Behold the turtle! She only moves forward by sticking her neck out. Strength and vulnerability move us forward.
